The year is also over, many people have embarked on the return journey, waving goodbye to their hometown, and their hearts are unwilling, which is a nostalgia for their hometown and relatives, after all, there is still a long time before the next return.
But some people, however, will have a little excitement and happiness, and finally do not have to deal with those relatives who are not rare, and think that it is a very happy thing to think that the ear root is clean.
Nowadays, many people are reluctant to return to their hometown for the New Year, not because they have no feelings for their hometown, but because they feel helpless for some relatives in their hometown, lest they avoid it.
These people seem to be born to disgust whom, people are not willing to answer the question, but endlessly nagging, their parents can endure, those relatives who can't beat the eight rods also take out a look of concern to ask long questions and short questions, people who don't know still think that they are enthusiastic, don't they know that they just want to see jokes, such people are really bored.
There is such a person in real life, you live well they will be jealous of you, you are not good they will laugh at you, or you can live well, but you can not live better than them, this is human nature.
This may not sound very good, but don't believe it, the details are really like this, those who are really happy or sad for you, except for your parents, there are really not many, and sometimes it is cruel to brothers and sisters.

When it was almost the New Year, Arlene's parents called and asked her to go home for the New Year, saying that this year was Grandma's 90th birthday, and that she wanted to take a family portrait, and the juniors could not be less.
Arlene is 32 years old this year, her career is booming, the only regret is that her personal problems have not been settled, she does not like to go home for the New Year, that is, the jealous and sympathetic eyes and tone of relatives, which make her very unhappy.
Mom knew more about the virtues of her relatives at home than she did, and she had long been instructed that someone should ask about the salary to say half less, and asked how much the difference was, and she couldn't tell the truth, at first she didn't understand the meaning, and after a few rounds she understood everything.
That year's New Year, Arlene's aunt brought her cousin to visit the New Year, had to be Arlene pulled her to go for a ride, Arlene's car was just bought, the door was an electric suction door, when it was closed, it was lightly brought on the line, but the aunt seemed to be deliberate, every time the door was closed, it fell hard, Arlene listened to it and trembled, and the aunt complained that Arlene was too stingy in front of her relatives.
My aunt's cousin loved to dress up when she went to school, and she didn't finish high school and said she didn't learn anything, and in the end she couldn't find a good job, but such a person wanted to marry a rich man.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, my aunt and cousin came to wish my grandmother a happy birthday, and deliberately looked at Arlene and said loudly: What is the use of girls reading, is it not the same as not being able to marry out, see if our family has also found a good partner?
Arlene didn't say anything, directly ignored the other party, took the car keys out, she wanted to drive, if you don't like to listen, you can choose not to listen, this feeling is really cool.

New Year's Day, in the traditional custom of Chinese is the most solemn sense of ceremony, a large family gathers together to eat and chat, it is not lively, but for different people, this kind of gathering is also a kind of suffering.
In particular, the repeated interrogations of some of the seven aunts and eight aunts, as well as the schadenfreude of some ill-intentioned so-called relatives, are particularly disgusting, so some people say that inappropriate communication is far less comfortable than the comfort of being alone.
In fact, for some disgusting relatives, you can't always smile at each other, and when it's time to be afraid, you must go back fiercely, don't promote their bad habits.
If you really don't like to look at their faces, you really don't have to look at them, and there is no need to think about this and that, when they say ugly words, they don't consider the feelings of the listeners, so why bother with so much.
"Zhuangzi" said: The well frog cannot speak of the sea, and the summer worm cannot speak of ice. People who are not in the same world cannot communicate and communicate, and the saddest thing is that those who are narrow-minded measure others with their own minds, which is ridiculous.
In the past two years, how have you lived, and have you met some strange relatives when you returned to your hometown?
